Hello everyone!
I've been thinking about ditching the cord for a while now, and I finally took the plunge with these wireless earbuds. What caught my attention was how easy they are to use - no annoying cords to deal with, and they're super convenient. I was a bit hesitant about the price, but I figured it was worth it for the freedom and convenience of wireless earbuds.

Quick rundown
I picked these up for 17,990 rubles at the DNS store. The price was a bit steeper than I was expecting, but I figured the convenience and features were worth it.
The design is super sleek, with earbuds that fit snugly in your ears. They're powered by dynamic technology and connect via Bluetooth.
They're made in China, and come with a 12-month warranty. I was a bit concerned about the warranty, but it seems to be a standard for most electronics these days.
More about the build
The earbuds themselves are made of plastic, and come in a crisp white finish. They're tiny, measuring 40mm in height, 18mm in width, and 16mm in depth.
They weigh a mere 8 grams, making them super portable. I was impressed by how lightweight they are, and how easy they are to carry around.
Getting to know the mic
These earbuds come equipped with a built-in microphone. It's a dual-mic setup, and it's mounted securely in the earbud casing.
Features and controls
You get intuitive touch controls, a volume regulator, and even voice control. I was a bit skeptical about the touch controls at first, but they're actually really easy to use.
Unboxing
The earbuds come in a compact, square box with a white finish. The box itself is pretty minimalist, with just a simple design and no extra frills. The Apple logo is prominently displayed on every side of the box.

Apple AirPods Wireless EarbudsTrust me, connecting these earbuds is ridiculously easy. Of course, you might encounter some issues on the first try, but after figuring it out, it's a breeze. I had some trouble at first, but after watching a video on how to connect the earbuds to my phone, everything made sense.
My thoughts
AUDIO: The sound quality was a letdown for me. Even at maximum volume, I couldn't hear everything clearly. So, the audio is a definite minus in my book. I've had better sound with wired earbuds.
BATTERY LIFE: The battery life on these wireless earbuds is impressive. 50% charge lasts for several days, and a full charge can easily last a week. Plus, they charge quickly – around 20 minutes gets you 40-50% battery, and a 1.5-hour charge gets you a full 100%.
No More Falling Out: I've had these earbuds for a while now, and I'm happy to report that they've never fallen out of my ears. I even fell asleep with them still in, and they stayed put. I was a bit surprised, to be honest, that I could sleep with them in for hours. One thing to note is that these earbuds are super sensitive, so if you put them on wrong, you'll know it – and it might even start to hurt. Make sure you get the right one in the right ear.
The Indicator: I wanted to mention that the case has different colors. Orange means the earbuds are running low and need a recharge. Check the pictures below for a visual reference.

Apple AirPods Wireless EarbudsCalls: One of the best things about these earbuds is that you can use them not only for music, but also for taking calls. The sound quality is crystal clear, and the person on the other end can hear you just fine. Plus, if you have these earbuds in, you'll hear the call coming in – and you can even get Siri notifications through the earbuds themselves.
Downsides: These earbuds scratch really easily and get scuffed up if they're not in the case. I never used a case with these earbuds, and as a result, I ended up with a bunch of tiny scratches. So yeah, it's worth getting a case.
